Can anyone here help with a 1960 Merc 400? I have a ingnition switch that has been cut off with no labels to where the wires need to go back too. The back of ignition has a :

A
B
D
E
F

The wires are Black, Green,Yellow, Red, White, Blue.

Does anyone know how to get my hands on the diagrams/schematics for the paricular model?

Thank you in advance

You have 2 problems neither the letters on you switch nor the colors on your wire match anything for a mercury outboard but here is the original diagram and maybe you can work it out from it.

I have a problem that is almost the same as "dumptruck", except that my old switch, a plug-in original with pins quit working and I had to by the "closest thing to it from the local boat shop. I have not been able to get it right and would really appreciate the original diagram if that is still possible. Presently the post says "This image has been moved or deleted".
If you can redirect me or help otherwise, that would be great.
